Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to eliminating the metropolitan commuter transportation authority's environmental quality review exemption
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority's (MTA) exemption from the environmental quality review standards established by Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law. The bill removes language that previously exempted the MTA and its activities from the requirements of Article 8, which outlines the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) process. This change will subject the MTA's projects and activities to the same environmental review and impact assessment process as other state and local government actions, ensuring greater transparency and consideration of environmental impacts.
